"Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. "

It's times like this that I really hate not being able to stream video at work!

I remember reading about this a few months ago (I posted a pic on the WOW images thread at the time). Apparently nobody knows what will happen to the human body at the sound barrier without the protective cocoon of an aircraft. Just in case, they've put a 20 second delay on the video stream.
